Sleep Tight, Week 2; post2

This was our freestyle art from Funshine on Friday. We used a golf tee and punched holes into our paper (we used the carpet as our soft surface) once we thought we had enough holes, we went into the bathroom (where it was dark) and shined a flashlight through the back of our paper... AND... we ened up with a night sky! I thought it was pretty nifty! 

Here was our Wishing Pouch from Funshine. The girls thought they were purses and had a ball with them! 

All in all, we had a great 2 weeks of Sleep Tight. Next week is onto Let's Give Thanks

Sleep Tight, week 2

Shooting Star was our creative arts from Funshine on Monday; we used a foam craft stick and they had to cut the curly ribbon into pieces, tape it to the stick and then add their star. The girls opted to have them as bracelets and the boys kept them as sticks!

Five Little Turkeys-- we use these oven mits to act out the Five Little Turkeys fingerplay. This works awesome and they LOVE it! 

We made some colorful turkeys too... they were full of colorful feathers! 

Painting the circles for our bears from Funshine, which I forgot to snap a picture of the finished product! 

Sleepy Sheep was another Funshine project. They thought it was pretty neat that the white crayon showed up on the blue paper! 

For literacy for this week, I asked that they all bring their favorite bedtime story so we could read them! We had lots of good books:) 

Goodnight Moon, 10 in the Bed, Glitzy Mobile, Rectangles

 

Goodnight Moon was our Funshine craft this week and also was great for working on rectangles. 

10 on the Bed was a fun activity we did from Funshine. 

  Rectangle Crayon Rubbings, another craft project from Funshine. This project amazed the kiddos after they were done coloring and pealed off their rectangles, I don't think they were expecting to see what they found!

 

While we were busy coloring one day this week, we noticed we had a visitor outside the window, so we watched him for awhile and then had to read the book, The Busy Little Squirrel 

Five Little Turkeys was a little fingerplay that we made this week to work on counting to 5 and back to 0! 

Glitzy Mobile from Funshine was our project on Friday... They had fun coloring their moons and stars, adding the tape to the string and then finally the GLITTER! 

Letter G; Sleep Tight; National Sandwich Day

 

Letter G-- our journals from Funshine  and our gum ball machine

I used my space themed sensory table for Funshine's theme of Sleep Tight

Working on our starlight names, an idea from Funshine

Another idea from Funshine, was to use a parachute and say, 1 2 3 Look at Me! 

National Sandwich Day was on Monday, (thank you Funshine, or I wouldn't have known about it!), we played a Sandwich Game from Melissa & Doug

Spiders, Spiders and more Spiders

 

We made spiders for snack! The kids loved making these, we had spider legs (pretzels), tummy (crackers) and spider paste (peanut butter) followed up by some spider blood (juice!) 

This was a suggested cooking activity in Funshine and it made for a extra yummy breakfast!

 We've been busy blowing and sucking up leaves with the play vacuum cleaner! 

 5 Little Pumpkins, I love doing this one with them every year!

To make our mummies, I thought we could tear the tape and it would be great for fine motor, well we ended up using a scissors and cutting!

Painting our ghost! I took a white washcloth and froze it (with water) over a cup. Then we painted with liquid water color, although I think if I would do this again, I would dillute the liquid watercolor

A little keepsake for Mommy! Salt dough ornaments:)

We were supposed to make a tangram puzzle, however, we used it to practice our cutting skills. 

Playing our math game from Funshine, Catch a Fly

This was such a simple activity, yet the kids loved it. Again, from Funshine, they each had a small bar of soap and were to make their own spiderwebs. 

Since spider webs are sticky and catch flys, I took a piece of contact paper and taped it sticky side up, so we could catch flies (they would throw cotton balls)

We played a game that Funshine recommended, of hide the spider. They had a blast playing this! 

Our adorable little spider web masks from Funshine!

You can't talk about spiders without having a giant spider web on the floor! 

Our bat puppets from Funshine; they were so simple and easy to make. It amazed me:)

Spider from last week's Funshine activities. The spider moves if you tug on the strings. 

Here's our adorable 3D pumpkin, again, from Funshine. These turned out so cute and were simple to make... Even so cute that one of the school kids came after school and wanted to make one!
